New Car, phone and Me

-
"Two weeks ago, we bought a new car from the store. We performed a pooja and kept it in the shed. Then, the day before yesterday, on 16th February, we received an invitation to a marriage ceremony. Since it was our first journey in the new car, we were excited.

The destination was a small village, quite distant from town. There were two routes to reach it: one from the town and the other, which we chose, involved crossing two villages, making it the shortest route.

After passing through the two villages, we encountered road construction and had to find an alternate route. Initially, we considered going through town, but someone suggested a shortcut through the fields.

As we proceeded along the shortcut, after approximately 2 km, the road became increasingly difficult to see. It was nearly 9 pm, and we found ourselves in the middle of nowhere. We decided to turn back anad go through the town.

During the u-turn, our car's tire got stuck in a slightly deeper pit in the fields. We felt tense, yet we couldn't help but laugh at the situation. not even a single light or a single person around us. My mother,father and brother pushed the car from the back as the soil was so soft it became harder to push the tire from the pit, i sat in the front and rising to get it out of it. I completely pressed the clutch. Now, instead of break, I pressed the accelerator, which made the  car big grrr sound and all three from the back shouted at me but i am laughing and my hand were shaking. after trying for few more minutes, we managed to pull the car out of the pit and continued our journey through the town road.

By the time we reached the ceremony, it had already begun. We took our seats and participated in the customary Indian rituals. Afterwards, as everyone headed for dinner, I stood up and my phone slipped from my lap, causing the back to break not just a small crack, my entire phone back was broken. I was frozen for a moment, as it had only been 6 weeks since I purchased it. Although I felt like crying, I managed to hold back my tears.

Despite the phone incident, I was determined to continue my tasks.  I was taking the stairs to go up for some work, and suddenly I fell from the stairs.
Overall, it was a day filled with unexpected incidents, but it ended with another memorable experience that I had never encountered before.💕"

The Reunion

On the day I joined the residential school at 8 years old, Tulasi and P. Anitha were the very first classmates I spoke to. They gave me a place to sit with them. Tulasi, Anitha, Divya Sree, Kiranmaiyee, Naveena, Nissi, Swapna, and some others were already close friends, and they just adopted me into their gang. As our school was residential, students were not allowed to go out at any cost. But for the first time, Tulasi, Divya Sree, and I broke the rule and jumped the compound wall, running to my home (only my home was very near to my school, while all my other friends' homes were nearly 100km away). At that time, my brother was an infant, just 3 months old. Nobody had seen my brother other than my family, but Tulasi and Divya Sree were the first people who saw my infant brother. Soon after, they divided the whole class into 3 sections. All of us were in the same Section except Tulasi; she was in a different Section. But we used to play games together every day during game time. As...

One Exam.

This happened after the "Tank Bund" incident, by which time we had completely lost our trust in autos and auto drivers. It was during our sixth semester, the last semester of our graduation. We had to write multiple entrance exams to get into postgraduate programs, including one called ICET. I applied for it and got an exam center that was very far from our college. Only one of my friends got the same exam center as me, so we both planned to go together. The exam was set to start at 10 a.m., and we needed to be there by 9 a.m., which meant we had to leave by 6 or 6:30 a.m. because it was very far. We decided to go by bus, needing to change three buses and take one auto to reach the college. However, we were unsure about the bus numbers; at the time, we weren't new to the city but weren't experienced with all the routes. So, on the day of the exam, with a lot of confidence, my friend Ashu and I started from our hostel at 6 a.m. We were standing on the road discussing h...

Hyderabad To Rameshwaram

Day 1: Hyderabad → Arunachalam We started early in the morning from home by 9:30 AM We reached Kurnool and had breakfast. Before Kurnool, we had one stop at Beechupally (one of the famous Hanuman temples beside the Krishna river). After breakfast, we reached Kadapa by lunchtime. After lunch, we drove directly from Kadapa to Arunachalam. By 11:30 PM, we reached Arunachalam. If you travel in winter, you can reach a bit earlier, but since we traveled in summer, the temperature was higher than expected, so we had to stop in between for the vehicle to cool down. Routes: HYD - KUR: via NH44 KUR - KDP: via NH40 Kadapa to Arunachalam via Chittoor, Vellore Day 2: Arunachalam → Thanjavur After completing darshan at Arunachalam, we started for Thanjavur by 5PM we reached. It’s only 220 km — if we had started early, we would have reached earlier — but thankfully we reached just on time. As soon as we entered Thanjavur, we directly went to Maratha Palace because it closes around 5:40...
